  Once & Future, by Keiron Gillen and Dan Mora (BOOM! Studios) I took notice of this book after it was nominated in 2020 for an Eisner for “Best New Series”. It’s a fun ride and the creative team seems like they’re having a blast with it as well. I appreciate the consistency from both the creative team and the content. As of this review, Gillen & Mora just came out with issue #26 and the first 21 issues are available on Comixology Unlimited. The series has been consistently good (4.8 customer reviews on Amazon, 9.0 on ComicBook Round Up, but only a 4.0 on Goodreads). I would note, I said “good”, not exactly “great”. It’s more the equivalent of a fun, action adventure “popcorn flick”. I only dabbled in some of Gill en’s other work (Darth Vader and Wicked + Divine) but I’ll give him credit, there are times where the grandma character has made me literally laugh out loud. Mora’s art is great, but I go back and forth if his art is too “mainstream”/clean and maybe the book could benefit from something a little darker. However, the colors by Tamra Bonvillain are a great compliment to both his art and the story. Looking for fun, stop here. more
